For future reference, what time was the race actually held? I know the doors opened at 10 a.m. but that's the only time frame given. I checked out youtube videos of past donkey races before I headed down on 2/1 & was very much bothered by the beating of the donkeys I saw on those videos. Maybe I'm too sensitive, but I thought it was rather cruel. I'm glad to have not seen this in your videos.

All looks good in the videos. That day in particular was extremely windy. I felt like I was taking two steps forward & one step back when I walked the beach that day. It was the most windy day of my trip. The others were breezy, but Sunday's wind was intense.
